oh nature. i was just talking about you. is there anything better? well, a few things. more on that later...

just got out of a great conversation with an old friend. people around me (i'm in about the most matreialistic place you can imagine) simply don't get it. there's friendship, there's love, there is beauty and there is nature. these are the great pillars of life. and they all interact. or at least they should. ultimately, i think that love is the most important. but nature, oh nature. i love you. you're so under-rated. especially around here.

really people, have you ever sat on top of a mountain? ever sat on a beach at sunset? ever stood in knee deep water at sunset? do you know the smell of a grassy field? aw, if your answer is no to any of these you are one of many. but you are also missing out on so much that life has to offer. makes me so sad to see people around me that don't get out. and i mean get out out. not go to clubs/bars. i mean get out into the world. to a place where you can look at nature and see the beauty that has been there all along. the beauty that has nothing to do with style of time.

go do it. you know you'll appreciate it.

Wow, thanks I needed that Pick Me Upper!
Yes nature! For the love of God, Nature!

Edward O. Wilson author of The Creation would agree with you also:

"Animals we raise in feed lots and take note that they seem to be contented, their not complaining very much. The animals raised in feed lots are very far from the full animal. They are not behaving; they are not working out their life cycle in the matters programmed into their brains and into the course of their developing physiology. ...Their is enough evidence that Human beings need nature, they need wild environments, they need at least pastoral environments, duplicating the early habitats of human beings in order to develop fully."

Again, thanks zz, I needed that!
